September 2011 challenge - online cash games

[Chipless Wonder]

I would like to challenge myself against others for next month in Carbon Poker's cash games. I only play a few hours per week, but I really like the games there, so I thought a challenge might be good motivation. We could use Poker Rankings & Stats | PokerTableRatings.com to keep score. Please post in this thread if you're interested.

I interested! Do we have to only play carbon games? Im mostly playing on Bodog and lock poker. i have had a shitload of trouble getting money on carbon

I'm interested, but I only play on Cake and Bodog and usually lower limits $0.25/$0.50. This will actually motivate me to play more. I have cut way back to about 1-2 hours per week vs. per day pre Black Friday.

I think we could do any site that allows U.S. players, and is tracked by Poker Rankings & Stats | PokerTableRatings.com.

Obv, there is plenty of interest. Why don't you lay out the basic rules you have in mind?

I haven't yet thought of a good way to score this, since PokerTableRatings only shows the results of your last few/dozen sessions. I can't seem to find a way to use this site to look at results for the month of September for example. Open to suggestions...

I think you'd have to track it manually day by day in order to be accurate and guarantee honesty. I already thought about PT3 or HEM screenshots but those could be photoshopped.

1) Score with BB/100. Calculate each person's stat every tues and thur then average the totals at the end of the month.
just use the profit/loss/hands stats PTR does give for each session.

2) Have divisions. Every two limits or something, from the lowest up.

3) Have a hands per day minimum, or a total hands minimum for the month, or both.

1 and 2 sound good. On #3 would argue for hands per week and month given some days might not be able to play.
